For all the fans out there, Wikipedia is a great source of Harry Potter information.... including lots on book 7. The site has family tree charts on many pages. For those who want an overview, I compiled a pdf file of the more important pages (9.6 megs on 08.02.07) and you can download a copy here to view off line.

"A set of 1st class stamps due to be issued by British Post to mark the Harry Potter franchise's success; each stamp contains a title cover from the seven books.

For interesting information on how we communicate visit Deborah Tannen's site
Gender Styles in Computer Meditated Communication or read her several outstanding books on influences of gender and communication styles on our daily lives. Deborah's the best selling author of "You Just Don't Understand," and her recent, "Talking From 9 to 5." on the impact of conversational styles in the workplace. They make great gifts for the people in your life you care about (or have to work with) who just don't seem to "speak your language."

Her main point is that no one is "wrong or right," and that if we know something about how other people think, we can communicate better.

Her books and tapes can also be found at amazon.com

American History
 For early US history try this interesting book by Daniel J. Boorstin. "The Americans: The Colonial Experience" (part of a series call "the Creators.") Its 372 pages plus extensive biographical notes, are a relatively fast read and well worth the time spent.

Welcome to MacWEEK Founded in 1987, it was acquired by Ziff-Davis in 1988. In 1998, as part of a strategy change, the publication was relaunched as eMediaWeekly, which caused a number of its existing sponsors to withhold their advertising. Eventually, MacWEEK existed online as part of Mac Publishing's online publication, MacCentral Online. Now it exists simply as an http redirect to the site.
